What Our Students Say

I selected Gina’s College after visiting other schools in the Ottawa area. The length of the program, class size and instructors had much to do with my selection. As well, it came highly recommended by other practicing medical aestheticians. This is a second career for myself and I was able to take advantage of a government program that offered some financial assistance. This assistance was greatly appreciated. The overall experience at Gina’s was indeed positive. The small class size and openness of the instructors made for a terrific learning environment. The instructors were incredibly supportive and I appreciated their genuine concern for my securing employment in the field. It felt as if I was more than just a student. I am now presently employed as a laser specialist in one of the top medical spas in Ottawa. This has been a life-long passion and I am happy to go to work each day. I would highly recommend Gina’s College to friends as it equipped me with the necessary skills to be successful in my chosen field.

“I chose Gina’s because of its reputation, it was more one on one because of the small amount of students in my class. For myself I should say that Gina’s College helped me while I was going through a very difficult time in my life, and I do thanks the girls who work at Gina’s for that. The teachers were comprehensive, understanding of the students, and they really helped me to accomplish what I was looking for. The teachers were the best, we laughed together, they explained very well and demonstrated very well also. Their knowledge about the course and the products was excellent, and very well explained, especially for myself since it was 30 years since I had been in school…they were excellent teachers. For me, the medical advanced facials were my favourite, and I still like to do my facials. I do have my own business now, a spa called Primal Studio & Skin Care, and I still enjoy doing aesthetics. I would recommend Gina’s at 100 percent, and I would say if you are serious, ambitious and want to learn, that’s the college to go to. I would like to say thank you to the girls at Gina’s College in Ottawa and to Cristina, for her knowledge. Every time she comes to Ottawa, I always go to her seminars.”

“I chose Gina’s based on location, reputation, and word of mouth reviews. I enjoyed the course at Gina’s. The class size, the instructors and classmates made it a fun and enjoyable learning experience. Our instructors were personable, knowledgeable and well educated in their fields. I appreciated that they worked in the industry on a day to day basis and their knowledge and skills were current with industry standards. They instilled confidence and pride in the skills we were learning. I am a certified Nail Technician doing a job that is more like fun than work most days. I love being paid to do something that makes clients feel pampered and special. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gina’s to friends. The instructors we had were excellent and went well above to make our learning experience enjoyable.”
